Took the 68 bus in to Bedford this morning. It takes a very circuitous route so it takes a bit longer than driving. but of course you don't have to drive around searching for a parking space. And it meant I got a view of suburban Bedford. Lots of 1960s semis much like any other southern English town of similar size.
As we were getting close the bus station, about a kilometre away, I spotted a big Sue Ryder shop so I got off at the next stop. Bought a colourful bracelet and a sparkly necklace that I'm wearing as an ankle chain.
Now I'm in the Popins café where I've just had a steak and kidney pie and a pot of tea. Just what I wanted on this slightly chilly morning. Proper hot food.
